Synopsis

Kitty, Kieran, Lolly, and Aaron—the main characters of the previous two Pig Trilogy novels—would be expected to be living happily ever after at this point. But nothing is settled or as expected in Caldwell’s new tragicomedy (of the kind that only the Irish can compose): Disappeared characters rematerialize, romances that seemed dead burst back to ardent life, and even Taddy and Brid, Castle Kissane’s comely spirits, resolve themselves into much-longed-for conclusions.

And the pig who started it all by rooting up the bones of the past and tipping many lives topsy turvey eventually goes wee wee wee all the way to a very unexpected home.

The third in the series. The first was of course the best with many laugh out loud moments. This one feels like a sequel but still has some great witty moments. The story comes full circle and is wrapped up. Maybe having too much time between books diminished the story? Definitely need to read all t......more

Goodreads review by Beth on June 02, 2018

This turned out to be the third in a series, and I think I was supposed to already care about the characters and their troubles before I started. Since I picked it up on its own, I kept feeling a bit flatfooted when the author did something that didn't resonate as strongly as I think it was supposed......more
